The I. L. Caragiale National University of Theatre and Film (Romanian: Universitatea Națională de Artă Teatrală și Cinematografică „I. L. Caragiale") is a public university in Bucharest, Romania, founded in 1954. It is named in honour of playwright Ion Luca Caragiale.
History[edit]
First theatre school[edit]
The first theatre faculty in Bucharest began its activity in 1834 within the Philharmonic School.
IATC and precursors (1948-1990)[edit]
A Faculty of Stage Direction opened in 1948 within the Romanian Art Institute, at that time the center of all Romanian higher education in the arts.
The year 1950 saw the founding of the Institute for Film and the Institute for Theatre I. L. Caragiale (named after the classic Romanian playwright). In 1954, the two institutions merged into the I.L. Caragiale Institute of Theatre and Film Arts (IATC).
After 1990[edit]
The institute functioned under this name until 1990, when it became the Academy of Theatre and Film – the only such school in Romania with a ranking equal to that of a university and with international recognition.
Since 1990, the Academy of Theatre and Film has undergone a continuous reform process. New specializations have been added, such as audiovisual communication and multimedia sound editing (at the Film Faculty), puppets, marionettes, choreography and scenography (at the Theatre Faculty). The number of students has gone up, while the curricula and study programs have been continuously improved and diversified.
In 1998, the Academy of Theatre and Film became the University of Theatre and Film I.L. Caragiale. In 2001, it became the National University of Theatre and Film I.L. Caragiale.
